Virginia Beach's Human Rights Commission honored Mr. Lawson, board chairman of The Lawson Cos., at its yearly banquet in October. He was recognized for promoting cultural diversity, equal opportunity, and other human rights efforts.

Lawson and his company designed and built the Seaside Harbor development, according to an article in Inside Business, the Hampton Roads Business Journal.
